Explore the negative thought and play with it. Stretch it and make it absolutely
ridiculous. If you have a thought such as “I can’t go and tell my bank that I’d need to
lower my monthly mortgage amount. They’d think I’m a loser”. Visualize all the
people at the bank laughing out aloud so they roll on the floor pointing at you. Some
of them manage to rush into the street and stop passers-by or get on the phone and call
their friends and say out aloud “Can you imagine, we have a customer here who wants to
lower her monthly mortgage amount!” Then everyone joins in to ridicule you, the
traffic stops, TV cameras appear and they make a breaking-news alert, the president
cancels his foreign trip.
As you go on doing this thought stretching, you realize the absurdity of your negative
thoughts. They begin to appear bizarre and lose their glue-like grip on you.
Congratulations, you have now reached breakthrough point. The miracle has started
taking place. You’ve started freeing your mind.
